Testimonials

Heather’s presence was both personally motivating and professionally exceptional. The scope of her social media initiatives was exceeded only by her motivation to get out and implement them. I can’t recommend her enough!

- David Casey, PayPal

Heather is the quintessential social media expert. She built PayPal’s Let’s Talk website and programme from scratch and put PayPal UK on the social media map. She is fully plugged into the industry network and somehow manages to stay in touch with developments in the everchanging social media world. All the while being a true professional and fun, inspiring person to work with.

- Garreth Griffith, The Wonga Group

Personable, warm, creative, expert, talented, committed… a passionate speaker, a generous friend who is happy to share her knowledge and connections. The times I’ve worked with her, I’ve never failed to be astounded by this incredible woman. You will not be disappointed in any collaboration with her

- Andy Piper, Twitter

I’d travel miles to attend an event that features Heather as a speaker. She’s got a brilliant mind for strategy & a glowing smile she flashes often, especially as she zeroes in on what’s not working. I’m not sure I have ever met a speaker who engaged so fully and with such benefit at any event I’ve attended before or since. Heather will make your event something to remember.
